LLM election forecasting benchmark ranks Nemotron 3 Ultra highest

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new benchmark called LFORLA evaluates Large Language Models (LLMs) on their ability to forecast election outcomes. Instead of predicting accuracy, which is only verifiable post-election, LFORLA scores models on the specificity, grounding, and calibration of their predictions for the 2027 French presidential election and the 2026 US midterms. Currently, Nemotron 3 Ultra leads the leaderboard with a score of 89.1, followed by GLM 5.2 at 78.0 and tencent/Hy3 at 76.5. AI
